---Vowel Pronunciation Key

---a : "u" in "but" aa : "a" in "far" e : "e" in "bed" i : "i" in "fit" ee : "ee" in "feet" o : "o" in "code" u : "u" in "put" oo : "oo" in "booed" au : "ow" in "how" ai : "ei" in "neighbor"

Notes: 1. ' indicates a glottal stop (pronounced like "uh") in very careful --- speech. Normally, however, it is not pronounced at the beginning of a word and in other positions it represents 'aa'.

2. The combination 'ah' at the end of a word is pronounced like 'aa' or 'e'. For example: 'jagah' could be 'jagaa' or 'jage', i.e., the h is silent.

3. The combination 'ah' or 'aH' in the middle of a word is pronounced like 'e'.

4. n. (n period) indicates nasalization.

5. a - is used to distinguish between sh and s+h, kh and k+h, etc. Letter Transcription Remarks
